The film records a long journey by Guo Kuan and his friends, as well as a post-cycling biography. The changes in Dali after one year, and the hurried passing by around. These subtly melt into life, and then there is this instinct documentary that needs to be expressed.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
